When dealing with people nowadays, I am struck by how little almost all of them know of American history and politics. IMO a big part of that is that real American history including of the labor movement is not taught in public elementary schools.

Intimidating teachers and scaring them away from educating students about politics and history has worked very well for the GQPee.
